 Barcelona NightlifeWith a lunchtime siesta, there''s no excuse for not having enough
energy to make it through a long night of partying up a storm on
the streets of Barcelona. Alfresco dining is a good way to start an
evening of revelry and has become a way of life in many of the
city''s squares. Good spots to sip on a glass of wine and
people-watch are the Plaça del Sol in Grà cia and Passeig del Born,
Plaça del Pi and Plaça Reial in the Old Town. Barcelona is a trendy city with a fickle club scene that changes
just about as often as its locals change their minds on what they''d
like to drink. During the summertime,
(beach bars) open along the white sands of
Barcelona''s urban beaches, each with its own vibe and music, and
are popular with both locals and tourists alike. Key spots are Barri Gòtic and Las Ramblas which, despite its
medieval atmosphere, boasts a great selection of bars and clubs to
choose from, though keep your possessions close to your body as
pickpockets operate in these areas. This is where you''ll find some
of Barcelona''s most popular and trendiest nightclubs and bars.
L''Eixample, north of the city, is the place to go for Barcelona''s
gay scene. Port Olimpic is great for night owls with plenty of
bars, clubs and great seafood restaurants, while the yacht marina
is a great place to enjoy sundowners on a warm summer''s
evening. With the rest of Europe right on its doorstep, Barcelona is
dripping with culture and there are plenty of regular performances
of ballet, music, dance and opera at various venues such as the
Joan Miro Foundation and the Greek Theatre, or the Liceu Opera
House. And for a more relaxed evening, visitors can enjoy Flamenco
at various venues throughout the city such as Tablao de Carmen and
Travel Bar Flamenco Guide, which are both located in the old
quarter''s centre. |
